In a move seemingly designed to gladden only trolls and sitting U.S. presidents, Twitter announced Tuesday that, for a "small group" of users, it has increased its longtime 140 character limit to 280.
Predictably, a bunch of people are freaking out.
Although it's unclear when the change will be rolled out to all users, everyone on Twitter cancurrently see and interact with the few 280-character whoppers out there--including this statement from CEO Jack Dorsey.

Did anyone read that? Let me know if you did--it was a little long for me. Anyway, reactions at the moment are ranging from outrage to "TL;DR" jokes to genuine concerns about online abuse as well as Trump's now-doubled ability to spur international conflict with the click of a button.
